A third option is to decaffeinate the tea yourself: pour boiling water over
the tea into the cup, then immediately discard that liquid. Pour boiling
water over the tea again and steep as usual. Ninety percent of the caffeine
in tea is released with the first washing-over of boiling water. I am
sensitive to caffeine and have tried this method many times with much
success.

Is this 90% figure from your own measurements? If not, you may be
less sensitive to caffeine than you think. Please check Google Groups
for a long thread regarding *measured* caffeine in the cup.
